Google Reviews

I’ve been looking for a BMW & California  Motors Direct in Montclair, happened to Have the BMW that I liked. ( Note: this is my 1st Time out of the ‘3 BMW’s that I’ve Purchased, that I purchase Outside of a BMW Dealer )
&
Let me Share, after the PURCHASE was MADE., clearly now I know that there is a Difference when Purchasing from a ‘BMW Dealer’ vs Purchasing from a ‘Non BMW Dealer’ (aka California Motors Direct in Montclair )

I purchased My BMW the Evening of Saturday 9/20/25 so for Obvious Reasons ( aka Cashiers Ck not being on Hand & the Car having to be Washed & Filled up with Gas etc ) the BMW led into Monday with the Car being Delivered.

Our Sales Rep was Off the Following Day,
( who I won’t Name in this Review for Now )

Our Sales Rep Informed he would take Care in Getting the Car Prepped (washed & the ‘2nd Battery’ being at least somewhat partially Charged ( being it’s a Half Gas & Half Electric BMW ) on Monday when he Returned to Work.

Upon Monday, the Day of Delivery…

I get a Text from the ( Sales Rep )informing the following: you see BELOW
( Note- I copied & pasted the Text that You will be Reading Below ):

Sales Rep … ‘ The detail is taking longer than expected, told them to take their time and do it nice.’. ( end of Text )

From the ABOVE Text, NOTHING of what supposed to be Done was Done ??

Car was Delivered Dirty ( no Wash was Done )

( I took a pic of my Finger showing the Dirt from the Car) amongst NUMEROUS other Pics showing the Contrary of what the Sales Rep had said was Done.

In fact, in Addition to the Above…

The Car now was Delivered with a ‘ZERO’ charge to the Electric Battery.,  as well as NOW the Car having a ‘Sensor Light On’… in which the Sales Rep saw the Light On. but still Chose to Deliver My BMW with Sensor Light On ?

( REALLY- small things as Such SHOULD HAVE been TAKEN CARE OF PRIOR to the DELIVERY of the Car) ??

The more I checked the Car.. the More Bothered I became as the Only thing Done was Filling Up the Gas Tank., which is the Norm when Selling a Car.

@ this Time, I told the Sales Rep….

I didn’t need a Callback from a Mgr apologizing  etc since it was Pointless.
I just wanted my Sales Rep to Share My Pictures to the Mgr so they can see Nothing was Done to the Car upon Delivery

Well, to My Contrary Request, I get a call from a Mgr who is Joshua…

I vented to him ( as Expected ) & he asked me to Take the Car back so they can Wash etc &
I said Montclair was Not around the Corner from Me & just didn’t feel like having to take the Car back so they can do with what should have been done PRIOR to the DELIVERY.

Joshua, did Apologize but led on by SAYING the Following BELOW :

Quote- I’m reading we gave You a Discount on the Car, I questioned ‘What Discount’?

Joshua replied & said.,

You didn’t PURCHASE any of the ‘ADD-ONS’ & we DIDN’T make any $$$ Out of You because YOU DECLINED ALL the  ADD-ONS so that’s considered a DISCOUNT (???)

Wow.. Very Professional & Great Customer Service Joshua ??

With the Above said…

I hope those Ppl considering to Purchase from this Dealer, don’t get the Service I Did or at least Don’t get Serviced from the People I was Serviced by. !
&
Note- You as a Customer. do have the Option to Saying ‘No’ to ALL the UNNECESSARY ADD ONS that they try FORCING on You to BUY.

I had such a wonderful experience working with Mr. Zach Harper when purchasing my car! From the very beginning, he was incredibly kind and welcoming, making the whole process feel easy and stress-free. He has such a great sense of humor, which made what could have been an overwhelming experience actually enjoyable and fun.

What impressed me the most was how helpful he was every step of the way. Zach was patient in answering all my questions, explained everything thoroughly, and made sure I felt confident in my decision. He went above and beyond to ensure I got exactly what I wanted without ever making me feel pressured.

It’s rare to come across someone who combines professionalism with such a genuine and friendly personality. Zach made buying a car not just simple, but truly a positive memory. I’d absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a car you won’t regret it!

Extremely disappointing experience at this dealership!

I found a car that matched my preferences on the Carfax website. It was a 2024 Hyundai Sonata N Line located at California Motors Direct – Montclair.

When we started the purchase process, the dealership staff aggressively pushed additional fees and services. In the end, I was forced to purchase the car with a pre-installed GPS anti-theft device. I repeatedly asked them to remove the device and even offered to pay for its removal so I wouldn’t have to buy it, but the manager told me it was “already installed” and could not be removed. They initially demanded $2,500 for this device but eventually lowered the price to $1,500.

After completing all the paperwork and financing, I faced another disappointment: when I picked up the car, they only gave me one key and said there was no second one. Later, an official Hyundai dealer quoted me $860 to get a second key.

About a week after the purchase, I opened the lower compartment of the trunk (where the spare tire usually is) and found the GPS device I had paid for simply lying there. It was not installed, not connected, and not functioning. At a Hyundai service center, I was told that the device had never been properly installed and was essentially useless.

On top of that, the dealership did not provide me with a full set of copies of the documents I signed during the transaction, which is unacceptable. Customers are supposed to receive copies of all paperwork related to their purchase.

Overall, I am extremely disappointed with my experience at this dealership. I plan to file a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). To anyone reading this review: think twice before purchasing a car from this dealership.

First time here, I took my ex girlfriend a week ago helped her buy her Lexus at the Santa Ana location, and seen this Lexus online and applied and Marilyn did everything for me without me being there til the end just to sign the paperwork, got me approved, gave me top dollar for my previous car and got the car I wanted. Easy and fast, she was great. Made everything easy I did nothing but show up and sign.

I purchased a car from this dealership in early December. Just two weeks later, the car broke down completely. I took it back, and their mechanics claimed it was just the spark plugs and coil packs—relatively minor issues. However, after more problems, I got a second opinion and found out the real issue was a blown head gasket, a major repair that should have been caught during any proper inspection.
Now I’m stuck with a significant repair bill shortly after buying the vehicle. This experience has been extremely frustrating and disappointing. I expected more honesty and accountability from a professional dealership. I would not recommend buying from here unless you’re prepared for unexpected costs and questionable diagnostics.
